Why Moçambique?

After examination of several countries -namely Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay, Russia, Ukraine and also other African countries – the administration of SLC Agricola decided for Mozambique for its greater political stability and incentives from the government. In Mozambique land is state-owned and SLC got a public concession of use for 50 years against payment of a symbolic value.

Understanding the international environment and becoming and international company might be “the” challenge to many Brazilian companies. Domestic market is great, ok. It should be so for many many years. But should we not take advantage of the opportunities abroad? Yet, going abroad for business is not natural for Brazilians.
